I almost fit that description but the problem is that my parents are very superstitious despite all of this and just fucked in the head so they would disown me if I decide to wear the hijab but they prevented me from going abroad or a year in an exchange program in uni like I planned for several years, which would have immensely helped me kickstart my career, because "w-what if you accidentally eat pork uwu?? and what if you

I don't blame anyone for getting sucked into it, during that era there was so much fake news and propaganda it became hard to know who to trust.
There's a class element to the tiktok girls getting arrested. A lot of upper class girls upload the same kind of stuff and never get in trouble but middle and lower class girls do. I don't they it's because they have money either it's just kind of accepted I guess? It's Egypt so it has to be wildly classist. If tiktok really did bother the authorities they would just ban it.
Honestly the youtuber getting in so much trouble with the authorities was shocking especially since the government has been trying to hard to boost tourism in Egypt even during covid. I have a feeling they were alarmed that he wanted to film the unglamorous parts of the country, it goes against the image they're trying to project. The government is kind of autistic about "cleaning up Egypt's image" without actually fixing the structural issues; see what they did to the zabaleen.

nonnie? <- Like this?
It's pretty easy but I always wondered how Moroccans deal with it because it's based on the English pronunciation of letters not French.
I believe what numbers you use would depend on what Arabic you speak but basically certain numbers are used for letters in Arabic because English doesn't have it. so 3 = ع is the easiest to remember because they look similar some people used to do 3' = غ but it's not used that much anymore at least not here. 2 = ء because they look similar و للمصريين 2 = ق because of how they pronounce ق.
5 = خ so it's why you'll see some Arabs writing 5555555
7 = ح for some reason.

>ينشره صور الستات في الشارع أو من غير اذنهم و بسببهم كنت بجد خيفه امشي في الشارعwtf, thats horrific. its like you arent allowed to exist outside of your house when you live in an arabic country. i heard from an egyptian friend that sexual harrassment is crazy over there. the moroccan board on 8ch was completely dead, but there are videos of men of my country going around filming themselves groping women for a laugh on facebook, so even without the use of an imageboard it still happens.

I didn't call it orientalist art because it's showing slavery and I'm offended by it doing so no. I called it orientalist because IT IS orientalist. Look into the painter he's an orientalist painter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_PilnyIt's a painting by a European guy depicting the Middle East to show a very specific message that's often highly fictionalized and essentialist but he's trying to pass it off as a representation of Arabs of that time. I don't hate orientalist art I appreciate it as a product of it's time and sometimes find it useful to find clothes from that era but it's still not accurate. Reading into Edward Saiid really changes how you views these paintings. The Arabs are savages and exotic look the women are in need of saving! Look at how uncivilized the Arabs are! This is a painting made by a European for a European.
I'm not denying that Arabs had things like slave markets either but I'm just critical when it comes from Europeans.
Again I don't hate orientalist art and Edward Said's own book on the subject isn't perfect, I think some are nice and I really wish that Arabs took an interest in art outside of geometry and calligraphy while documenting their own lives.

I understand why people get annoyed over franco or writing zay keda ya3ny.

I want to see what an anonymous imageboard for Arab women would look like /egy/ just gave me cause to believe that men shouldn't be allowed to be anonymous online. I used to cringe at Arab women's facebook groups but I really did take them for granted. I still think they're cringe.

How do Muslim women cope with the knowledge that their men envision an afterlife whereby they deflower virgins in perpetuity with an eternal erection? How do they cope with being married to and cherishing such men? Forming families with them and loving them?
Why are they invested in Islam's perpetuation? As a Christian woman I've always wondered that.

i think perhaps that is the reason for this and the lack of interaction between the countries and therefore the people -in my personal environment anyway- , dont really know anything beyond the civil war and the current slave trade. i know for sure thats not all there is to your country and there's just no way a country can be all negative, im so sorry ! but im always willing to learn and i'd love to hear from you again ! though just know that its never your job to teach anybody.

ive been called a dyke since primary school basically even before i knew or thought about how i felt towards others, probably because i had a genuine hatred for males of all ages for no particular reason i can think of or event it was just my thing that everyone knew of me, and the older i got the more masculine i became so the rumors only got stronger even when i adamantly tried to deny it but in the end it was true after all no matter how much i tried to fight it (in my head. ive never been with a scrote and i never will).
are there communities you know of irl or other lesbians ? i've never actually known one in real life, only one classmate of mine who told me she was bisexual but she's never been with a woman to my knowledge. that or the ones i see on tiktok which… and in the end one of them ended dating a moid after breaking up so yeah.
i dont know how to go about finding a girlfriend. do you use apps of any kind ? i saw that zoe the lesbian dating app was available for download and i thought about trying it out but i dont know i dont want a sofia talouni ( moroccan tranny ) grindr situation, like i would kill myself if i got exposed like that.
for the curious
>https://www.levantx.com/series-source/violence-in-lockdown-sofia-talouni-and-gay-male-outings-in-morocco-under-covidim not out or public about being a lesbian for obvious reasons though my country is probably the least conservative in all of the maghreb… i still dont want to take any chances and besides its not anybody's business to know but mine in the end. but argh i dont want to die not having at least kissed a woman once… the closest ive been to a relationship was online with a middle eastern ftm in highschool but she left me… kek…

>>1366524omg hi nonnette im a lesbian algerian to!! i struggle a lot to have relationship there, ive tried tinder but its mostly scrotes profile ( i asked for women's profiles only), i also saw a lot of non binaries annonying girls, i tried to talk w one but she was so obsessed w euphoria and she wanted me to use they/them prns so i just ghosted her lol. mind u i also saw a troon-lesbian there but he lives in a total shithole city where theres absolutely nothing so i hope he stays here forever and suffer lmao. also there was a lot of racists girls, or girls who just want to have friend. over all the tinder experience there was boring as shit.
being a lesbian in these countries is so fucking hard and risky, and being a lesbian in western countries is now a fucking joke bc of the troons bullshit.
also the only time i heard a lesbian marriage was accepted in NA was in Tunisia, i heard a TIF had only mastectomies and hrt and the government allowed her to be married w a woman, even if at first it was hard for her. but that makes me mad bc they will accept troons before real gay people.
best luck nonetta, i wish we could talk more bc u interest me a lot!

>>1366928Speaking of which, since I'm was born ad raised in France, I don't get how some berbers who are very aware of their past and own local culture still willingly and proudly adopt some stuff from arabs. For example my grandma is kabyle and proud of it, arabic is her second language and she was a very educated woman because she loved to read and watch anything related to history, yet she was a proud muslim despite knowing islam was forced unto her people centuries ago. Yet she was very lax with it and told me she'd never be caught dead wearing any sort of veil. That's also the case for both my grandpas and they both had sisters who didn't go to school so they didn't speak arabic or french at all. I just don't get it. I also wonder that about many other people and religions.

>>1366980its not that complicated, its cause Islam is an Arab-centric religion, you are only allowed to pray in Arabic, the primordial language of heaven its self is supposed to be Arabic and being a good Muslim requires in essence to live and dress by the standards of 7th century Arab, If you were a Muslim and you genuinely believed in the Islamic faith, then you would forsake your native culture and language and try to basically "LARP" as an Arab and make sure your children try be more like Arabs, it wouldn't be a matter of culture, rather their own immortal souls, this is the case with Muslims around the world

>>1292839Well the issue with islam like every other religion is that it's centuries old and many false informations were added
Most of what you guys cite are hadiths which are universally considered of terrible quality by historians who did research on the subject. Often introduced centuries later, orally, with little to no proof of authenticity except "trust me bro, my great great grandfather was a close friend of the prophet back in the days".
It benefits powerful men throughout history so this is why nowadays they're taken as facts. For instance sultans and caliphs introduced a bunch of those fake quotes to justify their harems (which are obviously haram).
Also "houris" described by Quran are largely considered not to be women, but supernatural entities, they're also not exclusively women and were not said to be women (outside of hadiths, yet again).

reposting because i made a mistake and wrote embarrassingly wrong information kek sorry>>1440368thank you! are you tunisian? if so, i was supporting you! tbh i supported every african country. my neighborhood/general area is inhabited by a lot from different countries so it was a really nice atmosphere supporting eachother like that. any day an african country was playing i felt almost patriotic kek.
if you are libyan i mentioned something upthread ( not the gaddafi post ) i'd love to know more about libya! i had a libyan friend when i was younger but she never really spoke about her country. also, one of our players is actually moroccan-libyan! his name is zakaria something, the one with the big zoomer hair kek. his father is libyan and he can speak the dialect and everything. someone told me he's very connected to his roots and has the nationality, i hope that's true because it makes me happy to hear. in general i like it when somebody is proud of their ancestry rather than insecurely brushing it off.
on an unrelated note i wish for libya to take back the greatness it had in the past, i hope to see it return to its glory in my lifetime! and egypt too. keep thinking that everytime i watch their old movies. i'm young enough not to have grown up on egyptian television so i don't really have the nostalgia i just enjoy consooming old things

>>1439718Libyananon again, honestly Gaddafi is a top tier cow, the stories I have heard from friends and relatives and from just listening to the guy talk or do anything are hilarious. On a serious note though in Libya there is still a divide over supporting Gaddafi, a lot of people (we call them ta7aleeb) still go hard for Gaddafi whilst other people still remember how he neglected Libya for his foreign policy plans, send innocent teenagers to die in Chad, murdered innocent people on tv for political suppression, took many young libyan women and girls from their homes and raped and assaulted them, destroyed and neglected historical buildings and artefacts and preservation, basically outlawed cultural preservation, the whole Lockerbie thing, supporting Milošević and getting involved in conflicts and finding terror groups all over the world. There’s more but that’s all I can think of right now. At the same time even anti Gaddafi people miss the stability and position Libya had in the world under Gaddafi and many people feel he is the lesser evil than what we have right now which is militia control, Turkish, Russian, Qatari meddling, ransoms fighting for control and constant shootings and bombings. In my opinion Gaddafi was someone who was a visionary, though he was obviously a mentally ill narcissist and bound to take the country down in flames we need people like that in Libya. It is hard to completely condemn him when you see the state of the country now. When you’re from a country like Libya it feels like you should compromise and be grateful for what you are given, and it is really sad that Gaddafi is now seen as heaven as opposed to how Libyans live now.

there is so much gay vandalism on the stalls of my university's bathrooms and it makes me feel so lonely. i wonder if any of it is real or just written for jokes. i really wish i could know these people if it's real. i've never met another nafri lesbian in person so this has me hopelessly wishing i could meet one of the "writers" or just know them from a distance. the only girl who has me awkwardly accompany her ( for convenience since we were both alone and seemingly antisocial, i'm sure i won't see her again after this semester ) is homophobic and religious, and my only friend who is one of the few people i've come out to as gay now lives a city away. kek that rhymes i often look things up online about lesbians in my city or country, in a way it gives me a sense of hope and pride (kek) but i also get so much lonelier, sad, and jealous. i keep thinking how much i want to have that, but i know how my life would be over if anyone close to my family were to find out. i'm sure it's easier for me though since i'm a zoomer but, and i'm sorry this is mean spirited, i don't want to associate with private school tiktok influenced qweers as my last resort.
i don't want to move out because i love my country despite everything and i wouldn't want to change environments, though the bigger contributor to this is that i happen to be a poorfag, but i wish i could live normally, or have a space where i know i can.

this got me thinking of the racists on the internet which i've seen other anons talk about, which aren't limited to nafris it could be anywhere like south asians or east africans, where people argue over which microethnicity is better on a scale of who's whiter basically when it comes down to it. noooo you're subhuman because you're brown!!!! like yeah pal that's how the rest of the world sees you too. no one gives a fuck about your specific origins no matter how much you autistically argue over them fortunately, which isn't to say that one shouldn't be proud and embrace them but to demean someone and hold yourself to a higher position because of it is just so funny to me because the racist people you try to appeal to will still see YOU as untermensch no matter what, and they're laughing at you too, everyone is. it's like the fights you would see on playgrounds when kids would disagree with one another making up arbitrary reasons and rules for why they're better than the other. it's so pathetic and pitiful, an obvious way to show that they're deeply insecure not prideful if anything. the pictures they draw of eachother is really the cherry on top. i don't want to be lumped in with these retards but what can you do…

My aunts and uncles live in out city in France so maybe they'll go too but they already see each other in France like once a week. I'm not sure if "arrested" is the right word but they took my mother to the police station JUST because "it's suspicious that a Moroccan woman would come to Kabylie" and for some reason my parents had their marriage certificate proving they've been married for 30 years and that she's just there to follow her husband on their holidays. My father is retarded so he wants her to follow her there again and now even my mother's siblings are calling her to tell her to stay home for now. I think the police assumed she was a spy because they must assumed she married my father recently as a coverup, which is why the marriage certificate convinced them to release her, she only stayed there a few hours. Anyway this shit is crazy and she's stupid for not cancelling her trip yet, but I'll insist anyway.
As for your job search, good luck.

Summer is over but you could also try to get temporary jobs during the next school break too, or when there will be big sales if you look for retail jobs.

But that might be your more progressive circle perhaps

>>1692177i posted in the vent thread about how i felt, but i'm okay, and as far as i know all my loved ones are too. thankfully my city was a non critical zone ( most affected being essaouira, marrakech, agadir etc ) i initially thought i was just having the shakes again until my doors and dishes started slamming and getting hurled, i literally felt my building shift and move ! it was easily the scariest moment in my life, for the first time in my life i seriously thought my life was over
as the last serious earthquake happened a few months before i was born (in al hoceima) so i've never been in a similar situation in those helpless moments i felt like the only thing i could do is surrender and accept it so i just went catatonic on the ground kek. a little while after my entire neighborhood went outside in case a second wave would hit to be safer from the danger of getting caught in building collapse, but thankfully that never happened where i was.
my instinct was to text my friend and save my phone and laptop with their chargers as soon as i could kek the scariest things were the unpredictability and the absolute helplessness in the moment. our country isn't earthquake prone to my knowledge so most people including myself had absolutely no knowledge on what to do in such situations. it was so surreal.
i heard lots of terrifying news since, one of which is a teacher who found out that the entire class of students died (iirc they eventually found 4 surviving students). i'm heartbroken and devastated for the people that died because the vast majority are below poverty line families (slums, villages) i'm so grateful my family in the alps weren't severely hit, but even city folk have had their houses and cars etc. destroyed, some were killed and many were injured.
this of course includes many animals and pets, many of which are currently lost. my heart goes out to all those who were affected and i hope the message gets across that we need better infrastructure, it's so upsetting that it's not the first thing our money goes into.
